ZARA LARSSON CONTINUES CAREER BREAKTHROUGH WITH MIDNIGHT SUN
GRAMMY® Award-nominated global pop superstar Zara Larsson continues her unstoppable ascent as 2026 kicks into high gear, landing three simultaneous entries on the Billboard Hot 100 this week—marking a major career milestone and underscoring her growing dominance on the global stage.
The viral hit “Midnight Sun,” which has taken over the internet since the summer, continues to show its red-hot longevity with its official debut on the Hot 100 at #82. It marks Zara Larsson’s sixth overall career entry on the chart. Alongside this, her Pinkpantheress collaboration “Stateside” rises to #39 while her global smash “Lush Life” continues its upward ascent in the US, reaching a new peak of #40 a decade after its first entry on the chart. Further proving its cultural dominance, “Lush Life” reaches a new peak on the Billboard Global chart this week at #8.
“Lush Life” has truly taken the world by storm since its resurgence at the end of 2025, returning to its peak of #4 on Spotify’s global chart earlier this week. Zara also rises to become the 37th most-streamed artist on the planet on Spotify as of today, as she hits a new peak of over 57 million monthly listeners.
These new milestones arrive ahead of the 2026 GRAMMY® Awards this Sunday, where “Midnight Sun” is nominated for “Best Dance Pop Recording”—a career-first nod for Zara.
The album Midnight Sun was released in the fall of 2025 to universal acclaim. Unapologetically unfiltered and openly vulnerable, its 10 songs pulse with confidence, blending kaleidoscopic pop and euphoric dance to match every shade of Zara’s mood. Fittingly, the body of work landed on many best of 2025 lists, from Rolling Stone and Billboard to GQ, Nylon, DAZED, NME, Cosmopolitan and beyond. Get Midnight Sun HERE via Sommer House/Epic Records, available at all DSPs as well as on Vinyl and CD. Additionally, a limited-edition Lisa Frank-designed CD package is available for purchase while supplies last HERE.
Up next, Zara Larsson is set to kick off what The Hollywood Reporter has dubbed one of the most anticipated tours of 2026, as the Midnight Sun Tour kicks off its North American leg on February 28 in Portland, OR at the Crystal Ballroom. Due to heavy demand, second nights have been added in Los Angeles (The Wiltern, March 4 and 5) and New York (Brooklyn Paramount, March 26 and 27), with a slew of venue upgrades being necessary throughout the trek. See full touring itinerary below and get remaining tickets HERE.
“It just feels like me—knowing myself, this album is just really, really me. And also,” Zara says with a grin, “No one can do me the way I can.” Zara Larsson
